**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding the Question**: The question asks about the location of the ovarian funnel in relation to the ovary in earthworms, specifically which segment it is found in. 2. **Identifying the Ovarian Funnel**: The ovarian funnel is described as a ciliated structure located behind each ovary. In earthworms, ovaries are typically found in pairs. 3. **Determining the Segment**: We need to identify in which segment of the earthworm the ovarian funnel is located. The options provided are: - A) 13th segment - B) 14th segment - C) 15th segment - D) 16th segment 4. **Recalling Earthworm Anatomy**: In earthworms, the ovaries are located in the 13th segment. Therefore, the ovarian funnels, which are located behind the ovaries, must also be in the 13th segment. 5. **Function of the Ovarian Funnel**: The ovarian funnel is ciliated and helps in the movement of the eggs into the oviduct, which is a short conical structure that connects to the outside. 6. **Conclusion**: Based on the anatomical position of the ovaries and the ovarian funnels in earthworms, the correct answer is the 13th segment. **Final Answer**: A) 13th segment ---
